A yet to be identified young man has been crushed to death by a BRT vehicle in Lagos.
The corpse of the victim lying on the road
A social media user named Iwuchukwu Emmanuel has shared the story of a disturbing accident that gruesomely claimed the life of a man in the busy CMS area of Lagos. He also appealed to the Lagos state government to help institute measures that will help safeguard the lives of residents of the state.
Read his account below:
"I was on the Bus waiting for the bus to fill up, at CMS under bridge going to APAPA, all of a sudden , I started hearing loud noises , cries and screams.
I was shocked and kept wondering what has happened. All gaze shifted to a particular part of the road.. I was curious !
What happened ? I inquired....I was told A Lamata BRT bus just crushed a young man on the BRT lane. Ha ! What!
I crossed over to that area, what I saw twisted my mood, I looked at how a human being was lying lifeless. I was just shaking.. Started reflecting on how empty this world is, and how powerless we are. I heard that Same BRT type Killed someone on Monday 25 2016. Same spot , same BRT lane.
The blood stains are still there.....I was shocked..! Now this is for Lagos State Government.
I appeal to Lagos state Government to Conduct a Seminar for All BRT drivers in Lagos State, Educating them on Safety , Speed, Tolerance and Patience.
Furthermore, I appeal they put speed bumps on every BRT lanes, all over Lagos, especially places close to bus stops and crowds.
Please and Please.
Thank you"
